All CMRITO members can participate in electing members of the governing Council of the College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario. They can also nominate other members, or be nominated themselves to stand for election to the Council.
There are six elected members and one appointed Academic member of Council. These people, along with the public members appointed to Council, provide the leadership, direction and governance of the CMRITO.
